A light northerly breeze so Zens with green race were comfortable but sometimes just a little overpowered really.
I had in mind two possibilities for today and in the event we put up four sections of the Peter Malinski Eddy kite train that had been collected from Hamburg recently. I have been making sleeves for the five sections of the train, one more to do when the fabric arrives.
Some of the sails have been seriously stretched but only one seam has given way. I’ll attend to that soon. We replaced the broken spines and did manage to break the odd spreader during assembly and breakdown.
The train flew very comfortably in the Zen wind speed zone. I even got to sit down for quite a while, trying out the new role, obviously!
The other possibility for today was the JMH Double / Single Eddy stack 1989 which I have been working on during the week just gone. Maybe we’ll get to fly that next weekend.
